Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

    Matrix encrypts by default when starting a “DM room”, otherwise it doesn’t force encryption, only allows it.

    All the unencrypted rooms out there, are susceptible of getting their contents scraped by either the server, a federated server, an invited user, or even anyone.

    Encrypted rooms, can also get scraped unless they’re set with security in mind (only send to validated users, make it invite only, don’t show past history).
